We covered the good things in the other thread. So what are your most memorable facepalms?
Some of mine:
The end of Max Payne (The last shot you have to take). I spent at least 2 days trying to solve that last level, literally sniping every pixel on the screen before I gave up and looked it up online. *facepalm*
I played through half of PoR:Ruins of Myth Drannor before figuring out there was an autorun key. I mean - It would take literally 5 fricking minutes for my party to walk slowly from one end of the dungeon to the other. I could go make myself a sandwich. *facepalm*
At the beginning of my one epic game of X2 I bashed the freighter Teracorp gives you into a another station trying to dock it, and I never realized that my speed took a major hit as a result. So instead of making a single long trip to repair it I ended up making a lot of trade runs that took forever. It was like riding a slug across the sector (Again, I could have a sandwich during each trip). *facepalm*
The first time I played Tomb Raider 2 and got to the opera house I carelessly pressed buttons and switches. Unfortunately one of them sent an elevator down, and I didn't catch it. So I thought the elevator shaft was an empty hole. I must have searched that opera house for two weeks (I had no internet and a lot more patience back then). Every time I came to the same elevator button I would press it once, wait a few seconds while nothing happened, and then press it again - never allowing the elevator to come back. I eventually gave up on the game in frustration. It wasn't until months later that I checked a hint book at Blockbuster and realized that it was an elevator shaft that I was able to continue the game.
